Monday History Lesson – Yale: We Were Their Stepchild
I found this to be an interesting clip that I caught last night on the socials.
90 degrees in October, the new Sanford Stadium, Yale donating receipts to pay off the loan for it, and tickets at $3 (roughly $60 today) made for a sold out stadium dedication for what many of us consider to be the Vatican of College Football today. Classic.
Just glad Vernon “Catfish” Smith couldn’t hit the portal and that the fans didn’t have to pay a service fee or use a third-party vendor for the event.
Here’s the complete video if you’re interested:
Those were the days.

Congratulations, Mr. Jackson!
We finished the season getting clobbered on the Plains and Aoki gave up 8 earned runs. Hopefully that’s not a sign of things to come.
Amazing regular season….now let’s get it done in tourney play!
Another Day Where Auburn Sucks: Dawgs Take Every Road Series in the SEC
Georgia becomes the first SEC baseball program to win every road series since 2021, and won nine of ten series this season. Auburn’s six consecutive series wins is officially broken, too.
The Dawgs are rolling…let’s see how Aoki does in game three…a win and he solidifies himself as a solid day 3 starter and we might be really, really solid for the postseason play.
First pitch is 3 pm…if you’ve gotten nothing else to do…tune in!
Go Dawgs!
To Ray Goff, Thank You
No, not for the bad years, but for this.
The snippet comes from a longer interview on the Sons and Daughters podcast, which is worth a listen for a slow Saturday:
How many times does Georgia need to nearly miss on Kirby Smart before we get this figured out? Go Dawgs!
Saturday Sign of the Apocalypse: Jorts
Repent.
It’s not a lie.
Not just an October fashion statement anymore.
Message Board Geniuses: Kirby’s Officially Lost Control
Let’s rehash a familiar refrain, shall we?
But, hey, at least we’re not the trashiest program in the SEC!
Your Daily Reminder that Auburn Sucks: Diamond Dawgs Win Game One
Woof!
I’ll give Auburn credit. It was a pitching duel all night and it played out like a game between two of the top 5 teams in the nation giving it their all. From an observation, the Dawgs looked looser and relaxed despite the close game, Auburn seemed a touch uptight. I’ll take that as a good sign for the good guys heading into the postseason play.
There was no toilet paper tossed at Toomer’s corner last night.
What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been
This is something to behold.
Remove the Big XII schools from this, and it’s not a shock that we had the best record in the SEC in the 1980s. It feels like we should’ve been lower in the 90s, but the upward trajectory starting the 2010s is refreshing, finish with 100 wins for the decade and, of course, now owning the best records in the 20’s.
What’s equally refreshing to see is where Florida and Auburn are in the 2020s, exactly where they deserve to be.
FTMFs.
“He Could’ve Been the Missing Piece that Got Us Over the Top”
Here’s an “if’s and but’s” thought for today:
Personally, I don’t know. Yes, Kirby would’ve been a better DC than Grantham. There are many high school DCs in the state who would’ve been better than Grantham, but that’s beside the point.
While Kirby coming in and leading the defense is romantic, I can’t help but think that Kirby would’ve been as frustrated as Richt at the lack of investment in recruiting, facilities, and the program coming from Alabama to Georgia. While there may have been better defensive success, I could easily see Kirby getting frustrated and heading back to Alabama, or, worse, heading for a coaching vacancy and turning that program into what Georgia is today.
Could Kirby have ended up at Auburn after Chizik’s firing in 2012? Would he have been lifted as head coach when Richt stepped down? Would Richt have stepped down? Would Kirby even get along with Richt’s even temperment compared to Saban?
Who knows.
